Tech Prep Report Paul Kelly, Lydia Signorelli-Brown, and Jan Kuzmich presented an update on the activities in Tech Prep. Exhibits J-1 Dr. Dougherty noted that, although he does not agree in theory with mandatory service learning for graduation, he thinks that the more we can integrate service learning into our curriculum so that the courses are academically or otherwise respectable and responsible and at the same time give students an opportunity to see what needs to be done to help people in the real world is excellent. He feels that we are doing this, but he would like to see it expanded in other areas of the curriculum. CONSENT CALENDAR D. PAYROLL REPORTS 1.

INFORMATION Report of The Faculty Anne Hohman noted that Commencement was wonderful. There was no report. 3. INFORMATION Report of the Administrative Association Norma Bean reported that the Administrative Association was also very pleased with Commencement and congratulates all who were involved in the planning. It is not easy to pull off a special event such as that. Compliments go to the grounds crew, facilities, and the planning staff in Student Services. She also appreciated the fact that she, as President of the Administrative Association, was invited to participate in Commencement this year. She acknowledged and thanked the executive administration for making it possible. The group’s retreat is scheduled for Wednesday, June 7. The service awards for members of the group and recognition of its retirees will be celebrated. 4. INFORMATION Report of the CCE/AFT Ernie Carson gave the following report: “I would like to, once again, say thank you to Dr. Boggs and Joe Madrigal for giving me the opportunity to represent the classified staff during this past Friday’s Commencement ceremony. Sitting among the rest of the Palomar family really meant a lot to me, and I sincerely believe that it was a very positive “PR” move on the College’s part. “I would also like to commend those involved in the selection of this year’s Commencement speaker, professor Quincy Troupe. His topic of dreams was something that each of us could relate to. “As most of you know, the ADA’s of Palomar College have come together as a group with the goal of being proactive with regard to the increased challenges that are coming their way as we move forward during this post implementation era of PeopleSoft. Unfortunately this post implementation era has taken, and continues to take, its toll on the mental and physical health of this group. While I am speaking primarily about the ADA’s, I am in no way minimizing the impact that this system is having on the health and wellbeing of my other classified brothers and sisters. The strength, endurance, and the commitment of our ADA’s is currently being tested to the limit. This is evident by the sick leaves, the stress leaves, the doctors’ visits, and, most obvious of all, the look in their eyes. While some are very good at trying to cope and deal with the situation, their eyes tell a different story. The ADA’s plight is not a union issue, but the union is here for them. The ADA’s plight is a humanitarian issue, and more importantly, it is a Palomar family issue. I encourage Dr. Miyamoto to continue to meet with the ADAs; and, hopefully, something positive will come about that will be in the best interests of the ADAs and the District.” Palomar Community College District Governing Board Minutes May 23, 2000 Page 9 5. INFORMATION Report of the Associated Student Government Shannon Gyde stated that she is excited and looking forward to working with everyone this year. She plans to design a committee this summer to work on the ASG Bylaws, for we have had many complaints about them this year. Shannon reported that ASG seems to be supportive of a Palomar Foster Children Outreach Program. She would like to see Palomar’s ASG and clubs work on campus together in educating foster children about the College. This program will teach them how to fill out college applications and financial aid forms, as well as the benefits of Palomar College. Many of them do not know that they can go to college or where to begin. She spoke to Ashley Stone, an employee at New Alternatives Foster Family Agency. She indicated that this is a desperately needed program. Shannon is awaiting a call back from Ashley’s director. Shannon plans to work with Bruce Bishop in the fall on having ASG members go to our local high schools to speak to their student body officers about Palomar College and our ASG. Shannon also hopes that ideas may be generated on where to put the students during reconstruction of our student union. She welcomes any ideas or suggestions. 6. INFORMATION Report of Superintendent Dr. Boggs welcomed Shannon to the Board and told her he would be available this summer to talk with her regarding her Trustee responsibilities. There will also be a state Student Trustee Orientation that she is encouraged to attend. Dr. Boggs thanked Diane Vasquez for her wonderful leadership of the ASG last year, for her work as Student Trustee, and for her great Commencement speech. Dr. Boggs announced that Dr. Doris Pichon has been named the new President of Spokane Community College. Dr. Boggs congratulated our women’s softball team and Coach Mark Eldridge for winning the state softball championship. Our softball team has been consistently good over the years. Dr. Boggs congratulated Dale Wallenius and the Foundation for our successful fund raiser Saturday evening. We raised about $30,000, which is above the goal that had been set for the evening. Dr. Boggs congratulated Dean Bill Flynn, who has been recognized for a contribution to AACC’s publication, The Knowledge Net: Connecting Communities, Learners, and Colleges, the final report of the New Expeditions Project. Bill’s expertise in producing The Search for the Learning-Centered College, was complimented. Bill Flynn was also congratulated for being the keynote speaker at a Community College Leadership Conference in Lansing, Michigan, today. Dr. Boggs congratulated Kendra Jeffcoat for serving as Co-Principal of the Day at Canyon View Elementary School on May 22. We are reaching out all the way into elementary schools. Palomar Community College District Governing Board Minutes May 23, 2000 Page 10 Dr. Boggs congratulated Dale Wallenius, who was named to receive a “Star Award 2000” from the San Diego Performing Arts League. He was nominated by our own Performing Arts Department to receive that award. Dr. Boggs congratulated Joe Madrigal for being invited to speak in Spanish on June 11 at the First Annual Education and Health Fair, sponsored by the San Diego County Office of Education, Migrant Education Program. The anticipated audience is 900 to 1,000 parents and students. Dr. Boggs pointed out the great news coverage of the “I’m Going to College” project. We brought 150 fifth graders from Knob Hill Elementary School in San Marcos. It was funded by San Diego Gas and Electric Company. The students meet with staff members and professors. It is a great experience for them. Dr. Boggs noted that we also had some great news coverage of the GEAR UP program and the Parent Institute graduation at San Marcos Middle School, which was linked with our GEAR UP program. Dr. Boggs noted that we have just completed our P.O.S.T. audit. He asked Tom Plotts to discuss the event. Tom stated that every four years, our Police Academy is visited by a certification review team from Sacramento and looks at our entire curriculum. One thing that was noted in the glowing report is that we are the only academy in the state that has been successful in incorporating the core requirements for the administration of justice program within our current certification for police officers. The auditing team commented very favorably on this accomplishment. They were also very encouraged about the proposal that we are moving forward for the emergency training center. Dr. Boggs reported on the budget progress in Sacramento. He was in Sacramento when the Governor issued the May revision of the budget. He found it to be disappointing considering the size of the state budget surplus. On the positive side, the Governor is funding the Partnership for Excellence at the full $155 million, which was above the recommendations from the Assembly and Senate. The Assembly and the Senate have subsequently increased their budget augmentations to equal the Governor’s, which is good news. On the negative side, the Governor chose not to fund either credit or noncredit equalization or the human resources infrastructure funding. We are working very hard to try to get those items added back to the budget. Dr. Boggs met with Mike Gotch, the Governor’s legislative secretary, who indicated that if the conference committee puts those items back into the budget, then the Governor would seriously consider them. He promised to take the information Dr. Boggs gave to him and speak to the Governor about it. We also have a connection with Lynn Shenk, who is the Governor’s Chief of Staff, through Darlene and Don Shiley, that Dr. Boggs is using to make some inroads. Basically, the point is that community colleges did not receive COLA for four years in the early 1990s. Compared with the other systems of education, we have lost 12.9% of our purchasing power during that time. The Proposition 98 split was honored only one time for community colleges. We’ve lost $2.3 billion from the system over that time. If there is any time to make up for the losses we’ve incurred, it’s when we have this tremendous state surplus. The Governor’s May revision actually lowered our Proposition 98 split down to 10.25%. We will be focusing a lot of energy and time on the budget during the next couple of weeks. Dr. Boggs reminded the Board that our next meeting will be held on June 13 at the Pauma Education Center. We will schedule a van to drive the Board members there. Board members were asked to arrive here on campus at 6:15 p.m. to go into the vans, in order to arrive at Pauma by the 7 p.m. starting time. Palomar Community College District Governing Board Minutes May 23, 2000 Page 11 7. INFORMATION Report of Other Organizations and/or Individuals Palomar Faculty Federation Sandy Baringer addressed the Board at this time: “I’m here to address the issue of the Palomar Faculty Federation’s request for voluntary recognition of representation of a parttime faculty collective bargaining unit. I’ve taught at Palomar since 1992; I teach English, and I did receive my Ph.D. from UC Riverside in 1999. This year, I’ve had a post-doctoral fellowship at the Humanities Research Institute, at the University of California in Irvine. My specific function here tonight is to try to place in state-wide perspective the petition that’s been presented. There are part-time faculty units existing in the Butte district, Yuba, State Center, Feather River, and the Coast district in Orange County. In the last couple of years, we’ve got three new part-time units at North Orange County, at MiraCosta, as you probably know, and at Allen Hancock College. So, we are well aware of the community of interest that exists among part-time faculty across the state, especially considering the fact that there are . . . . we teach twice as many classes, percentage wise, as we did 20 or 30 years ago. At the same time that this surge of activism has been going on in specific districts in the past couple of years, part-time faculty formed their own professional association, the California Part-Time Faculty Association, and I was a founding member of that organization. What we do is we engage in a lot of networking across union lines around the state on these particular parttime issues that you’ve already heard about from us and you’ll be hearing from other people about tonight, too. The California Part-Time Faculty Association and these unions have all been instrumental in this year’s Action 2000 Coalition, which, during the first week in April collected 40,000 signatures on petitions to present to Governor Davis in the interest of improving pay equity for part-time faculty from the average of 37% on the dollar that we now have, which is 32% at Palomar, by the way. And so, we are doing our part to try to get more money into the state budget. We’re looking forward to, we hope, voluntary recognition of our efforts from this Board, and we’d like to work with you to make Palomar a model that the rest of the state can look to in improving the situation of part-time faculty. Thank you.” Tobi Rosenberg addressed the Board at this time: “Good evening. I would like to bring Dr. Baringer’s comments a little closer to home. My name is Tobi Rosenberg, and I’m a part-time faculty here at Palomar College, also at Mesa College, also at Grossmont College, also at National University. I guess I’m what you’d call a classic ‘freeway flier.” Although I’m as qualified and professional and as effective as my full-time colleagues, as a part-time instructor at Palomar College, my working conditions are not the same as fulltime faculty members. For example, I’m on a different pay scale than my full-time colleagues. This pay scale provides me less than a third of the salary of a full-time employee for doing the same work. Unlike full-timers here at Palomar, I have absolutely no health benefits. Although I make myself available to my students for consultation in the same way and for the same amount of time as full-time instructors, I will receive no pay for office hours this semester. In contrast to my full-time colleagues, I have no office in which to store my materials and in which to meet with my students. As a part-time employee, I have no assurance that I will be rehired next semester. For these reasons and many more, I’m here to respectfully urge you to show your support for the over twothirds of the Palomar part-time faculty who have already asked to be recognized as an independent bargaining unit by accepting our petition without delay. Thank you for your time and for your consideration.” Palomar Community College District Governing Board Minutes May 23, 2000 Page 12 Mary Millet addressed the Board at this time: “Good evening. I’m here on behalf of Bill Bedford, a former full-time faculty member in the Physics and Engineering Department. He couldn’t be here tonight, but he received a letter from Ed Estes delineating some of the common misunderstandings that people hold toward part-time faculty members. And Bill has drafted a rebuttal to that letter that he received, and I believe that President Boggs received a copy of that letter. And so he would like President Boggs and each of the Board members to have them, and I’m doing that on his behalf. Thank you very much.” Mark Evilsizer addressed the Board at this time: “Good evening President Jensen, fellow Board members, our new student representative. My name is Mark Evilsizer, and I’m a part-time instructor here at Palomar College. I’ve been here since 1997 teaching parttime. Palomar College is recognized by many as a leading California Community College. Yet, it is the last in San Diego County to have a collective bargaining unit for part-time faculty. It is time. Two-thirds of the part-time faculty have signed cards authorizing a vote for a part-time collective bargaining unit with the California Federation of Teachers. And the cards keep coming in. Part-time faculty are speaking loud and clear for representation. Do you hear them? This is a significant number, for if you were to include the approximately 300 full-time faculty members here at Palomar, for a total count of approximately 1,200, it still represents a majority of the total faculty. I respectfully ask you, the Board of Governors, to acknowledge this evening, with no opposition, a collective bargaining unit with California Federation of Teachers representing part-time instructors only. This would communicate your willingness to sit down at the table with us to jointly work on mutual agreements to end the second-class treatment of part-timers. Your actions this evening will set the tone for future collaboration. We seek an amicable working relationship of cooperation, not one of conflict or obstructionism. Together, we can achieve both the fair treatment of part-timers and the continued commitment to create a learning environment that assists students in achieving their career and academic goals. Please do not contest the appropriateness of a part-time-only bargaining unit. It is time.” Mr. Jensen stated that, procedurally the Board could not vote on that tonight. They will take it under advisement. He has received close to three dozen e-mails on the subject, and he is very much aware of the part-time faculty members’ position. Dr. Boggs noted that the item will be discussed in closed session tonight with the District’s legal counsel. Request to Revise BP 8.1 – Student Trustee Advisory Vote At this time Anastasia Benzel addressed the Board as follows: “Good evening. My name is Anastasia Benzel, and I’m the new Executive Vice President of the Student Body. I’m here tonight to inform you that, as of May 10, the ASG voted unanimously to rescind Article 5, Section L, of its bylaws, which is the section requiring that candidates for the ASG President be District residents. I’m here tonight to encourage you to make the same change in the Governing Board bylaws. At your last meeting, a student named Bridgette Roncone addressed you with regard to her disqualification from the election. She lives three houses outside of the District. As it turns out, another candidate for president also lives outside the District, but this wasn’t discovered until after she was already disqualified for another reason. Since ASG changed its bylaws, students who live outside of the District are barred from the presidency and the vice presidency, not by the Education Code, but only by the bylaws of the Governing Board. I ‘m here tonight to urge you to change your bylaws, specifically section BP 8.1, which restricts the presidency by stating that the student trustee must be a District resident. Palomar Community College District Governing Board Minutes May 23, 2000 Page 13 I’m aware that, because I’m presenting new information to you now, you cannot discuss it or act upon it tonight. However, I would encourage you to take action on this matter at your next meeting. Students outside the District have the desire, the motivation, and the ability to represent the student body of this college. All they need is a word from you. I encourage you not to be silent on this matter. Thank you very much for your time.” Dr. Dougherty commented that the next Board meeting will be held at the Pauma Education Center. He feels that this is an item that should be discussed at a meeting on this campus, so that students and others may attend the meeting to speak for or against this matter. Anastasia agreed that the matter should be discussed at a meeting on the San Marcos campus. Dr. Boggs pointed out that the normal process for bringing recommendations to the Board to change policy is to go through our President’s Advisory Council to make sure that all segments of the campus understand what is coming toward the Board and have a chance to make comments. He believes that there will be no disagreement if the ASG wants to make this change. He thinks the PAC members will be supportive and imagines the Board probably would be as well. As PAC does not meet again until September, Anastasia agreed to wait until fall before taking the item to PAC. G. COMMUNICATIONS 1. Letter from Susan A.

HOLD PUBLIC HEARING UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) ON MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION FOR THE HIGHTECHNOLOGY LABORATORY/CLASSROOM BUILDING (1) (2) Open Public Hearing. Presentation of Mitigated Negative Declaration for proposed High-Technology Laboratory/Classroom Building. Exhibit I-6 Ms. Hughes stated that the only thing in the report that shows a possible permanent negative impact is the archaeological. It gives two choices of what to do about the architectural impact. One of them is to do core sampling during the project and document what’s going on. She asked if this will be happening. Dan Conaty from Parsons Engineering Science, who wrote the mitigated negative declaration for this project, noted that it is mandated by state law that this be done.

Student Trustee Advisory Vote: Aye L. ITEMS PENDING There were no items pending. M. COMMENTS FROM BOARD MEMBERS Dr. Dougherty commented that he will be attending the CCCT Annual Meeting next week in Pasadena. Dr. Dougherty noted that the Inland Valleys Trustees and CEO Association will be proposing to ask each of its member districts for a donation of $500. In his opinion, that is rather steep, and he is not certain it is legal. He plans to suggest that for the first year, dues should be $100 and thereafter $50 a year. There have never been any dues for this group in the past. The current bylaws allow the board to set dues up to $50 a year. While that could be changed, he feels they need to be very careful in how much they ask the districts to pay. Presently, there are 12 districts in the organization. Secondly, the group is trying to decide what to do. Although they have a mission statement, it is so vague that the question is, “Which districts should we be recruiting?” His feeling is that they should call in David Viar to meet with the group next week and get his advice. He does not want to compete with CCLC for the state-wide trustees organization. He thinks they need to decide what they are going to do and how they are going to do it. At this point, he thinks the only district that needs to be added is the Kern district because they have a branch campus in the Ridgecrest area and are also providing courses in Bishop. He plans to suggest that they move carefully in adding districts. He does not think they need to be a giant organization. There are apparently six regional groups of trustees and CEOs in the state, and our group is the most active and influential. The way they met with members of the state legislature recently shows how dedicated they are. Palomar Community College District Governing Board Minutes May 23, 2000 Page 25 Dr. Dougherty commented that the Commencement speaker, Quincy Troupe, was great. He commended the two faculty members who read the names. He congratulated Joe Madrigal and his committee for doing a great job on Commencement. Dr. Nelson and Ms. Hughes agreed that Commencement was a wonderful evening. Ms. Hughes also commented that the Honors Ceremony held at the San Marcos Civic Center was also a very nice evening. Dale Wallenius did a very nice job of announcing the winners and telling you a little about them to make it very personable. He makes it a nice, special evening for all of them. Dr. White agreed that it was a very good program. Mr. Jensen congratulated Shannon Gyde. Mr. Jensen congratulated Doris Pichon and noted that Palomar will be sorry to lose her. Mr. Jensen thanked Diane Vasquez for a fine job as Student Trustee. N. CLOSED SESSION The Board recessed at 8 p.m. and went into Closed Session at 8:10 p.m., to discuss: 1. 2.
